Re: [gnso-impl-irtpc-rt] IRTP C Clarification

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi Caitlin.

what??  you don't follow what we're saying?  humph.  *I* don't follow what 
we're saying half the time.  ;-)

it would probably do us all some good to quickly schedule an IRTP C IRT call to 
work through the implications of all this.

-- the IRTP-D conversations have been inconsistent about the scope of the delay 
to IRTP-C implementation.  sometimes we say "all of it" sometimes we say "some 
of it" and when we say "some" we change which bits we're talking about.  i'm 
glad to see that you're grabbing us by the scruff of the neck and saying "wait. 
 what??"  

-- i'm not sure whether we need to pause *all* of C or just parts of it.  that 
requires more thought -- maybe drag Marika into that thought process?

-- we *have* uncovered a problem with the IRTP-C recommendation during IRTP-D.  
in C, we created this whole new kind of transfer category -- the inter 
REGISTRANT transfer.  we wrote a lot about that process, but then punted on the 
dispute-resolution part of that and said "sure, TDRP can handle that."  turns 
out that's more complicated than we thought and we're just wading through that 
discussion right now in D.  it would be good to coordinate what we do in D with 
what's being done in the implementation of C.

-- i'm starting to rethink the face to face meeting idea.  i'd like to ponder 
than some more -- but the ICANN level of activity just went off the scale with 
all this Brazil stuff (on top of all the other stuff).  we might want to 
schedule a few *long* teleconference meetings rather than face-to-face meetings 
and see where that takes us.  a lot cheaper and a lot less disruptive of 
schedules and lives.

just a few random thoughts.  i don't see how you people with day jobs get 
through all this ICANN stuff.  it's pretty heavy-duty right now.

thanks for your note.  let's bat this around a little more and see where we 
land.
